Another thing you need to consider if you have no Google account is what to do about your contacts and calendar.

Since you are not going to synchronize your phone contacts and calendar with Google, you need another solution. A good option is to keep your data in Outlook on your computer and use Akruto Sync to synchronize it with your phone.

Akruto Sync runs on your computer, allowing your Android phone to connect directly to your computer across the Internet, the same way it connects to Google, except that you are not sharing your information with anyone. Your Outlook contacts and calendar are always up-to-date on your phone and they stay private.
